Hey there, shortleg!
Yeah, I'm one of "those" guys. I think AZ Wingrider probably shared my regrets with everyone.
I was in the middle of my planned month-long tour and got hit with a health crisis halfway through when riding back to the states from Canada.
Anyway, sure saddened me to have to forgo both the rallies this summer. I was really looking forward to the original convoy idea from Cortez to Cherokee, too.
So, brother... enjoy the journey... and say Hey to all the folks at the Cherokee rally.
Ride safe!
